Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a face shield arrangement comprising a cap with visor and a face protective shield.
  • This invention proves to be particularly advantageous when using tools for farming and gardening works, such as bush cutters, hedge trimmers, etc. to protect the wearer's face from objects which could hit the user's face when the tool is being operated. Nevertheless, its employment is not limited in any way to this type of protection.
  • Some devices comprising a cap combined with a protective shield.
  • Some devices adapted to be used under working and industrial conditions, comprise a helmet or a rigid and resistant cap together with a face protecting shield, such as those disclosed for example by US-A-2 834 017, US-A-3 577 564 or US-A-4 975 981.
  • caps with visors to which flexible surfaces can be fasten such as for example for protecting the wearer's face from ultraviolet radiation (US-A-5 924 129) or mosquito nets (US-A-2 344 811).
  • the known devices have drawbacks and limitations, such as the need of a suitably made cap, a reduced spacing from the wearer's face unless proper spacing members are used, and an insufficient protection against small-size objects moving at high speed, and moreover they are uncomfortable to be worn and removed.
  • a face shielding device that can be easily fitted to a conventional peaked cap (e.g. with a visor), and offers a real protection against solid objects, and being provided with a shield which can be raised and lowered simply and quickly.
  • the present invention relates to a face protecting shield comprising a transparent protective surface and a peripheral reinforcing frame, and equipped with side holes for fitting the shield to the visor of a cap.
  • a protection device comprises a cap, a soft hat or more generally a flexible headgear 1 provided with a (relatively stiff) visor 2, and a transparent protective shield 3 which can be releasably (i.e. in a non-permanent way) secured to the visor through two (or more) engagement means 4 by using holes 5 drilled in the shield.
  • the shield 3 is preferably implemented by using transparent plastic material sheet, or through a netting (of plastic material or with painted or plastified metallic wires), and surrounded by a peripheral stiffening frame or rim 9 which preferably extends along the whole periphery of the shield 3, and in which the holes 5 are preferably drilled.
  • One or more spacers 15 protrude from the upper portion of the frame 9 to prevent the lowering of the shield 9 below the level of the visor 2.
  • each one of the engagement means 4 is preferably implemented through a connecting member 7 of a plastic material that can be snap-fastened to the visor at one of two holes 6 laterally drilled in the visor.
  • Such holes can be punched by means of a simple tool, and in case reinforced with metallic or plastic eyelets (not shown in Figure 1).
  • a threaded pin 8 protrudes from the body of the connecting member 7 and is adapted to be inserted into one of the shield side holes 5 and locked through a nut 10, with this latter being preferably embedded into a knob 11 large enough for allowing a manual tightening.
  • the connecting member 7 is formed with a main body from which a pin 12 protrudes, the free end of the pin being enlarged, and with a strap 13 elastically fastened to the connecting member and provided with a hole 14 for snap-engaging the pin 12, after this latter has been led into the hole 6 drilled in the visor, thus securing together the visor rim and the protective shield 3.
  • the connecting member 7 is integrally formed as a one-piece plastic member.
  • the means 4 In addition to allowing the fastening and disengaging of the shield, the means 4 also consent a rotation of the shield 3 which can be raised above the visor and easily lowered again when required.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the engagement means 4 wherein the connecting member 7 includes both the threaded pin 8 and the pin 12 with its free end enlarged, while a separate small plate 18, with a hole 19, accomplishes the snap-locking function.
